I tried mother3

but

 as soon as battles began I stopped playing because I cant stand that almost "text based" battle system where you "click" on attack or something your characters - which are not even on screen and just appear as NAMES lol - attack the enemies and the enemies just shake for a second. Thats so uber lazy and ugly I stopped playing.

I mean its turn based so Im not gonna love it but when its turn based it can at least be somehow visually appealing because I dont want to get bored to death when playing. Turn based and then stuff like this no thank you.

I still have interest in Mother and I also like the games setting and visuals (not the battle ones of course) so I hope they will come up with new Mother game in the future.

Hmm, I think I should somehow get Mother. The battle-system you describe is the classical RPG-system and I love that. Etrian Odyssey does exactly what you describes - and I love the game. (Hopefully Etrian Odyssey IV will come to Europe, please, please.)
